A couple months ago, Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner took a trip to St. Bart’s with their families for New Year’s Eve weekend. The couple managed to keep a low profile during their vacation, with only a handful of paparazzi pictures surfacing online. But that changed this weekend when an overzealous fan hacked into an iCloud account belonging to Styles’ mother and proceeded to leak the personal photos she found of Styles and Jenner.
Twitter user @haarrystyles somehow gained access into Anne Cox’s iCloud account, which contained numerous photos of the boy bander with friends and family. The hacker then took to Twitter to leak two dozen intimate shots of Styles with Jenner during their vacation. Some images were of the couple getting cozy in their swimsuits and others were of them dining at a restaurant—all captured by Styles’ mom.
This, of course, caused a media frenzy. “Anne’s iCloud” became a trending topic on Twitter, and the pictures quickly flooded the Internet. Some Directioners went crazy over the leaked photos. After all, it’s not very often they get a glance into the 1D member’s personal life. But many agreed that it was a gross invasion of privacy. Though the photos of Styles and Jenner are adorable, they were private moments captured by Styles’ mom. Fans should respect her privacy, as well as the privacy of Styles and Jenner.
The hacker’s account has since been suspended, and Twitter is deleting the leaked photos as they are alerted.
